Adulterated Soap.

In examining the process OF soap
making we learn that there is soap and
soap. The real article free from adul-
terations, injurious or useless, is never
the cheapest. Poor brands contain
pulyerized marble, tale or other
mineral powders to give increased
one cent per pound, and sometimes
each pound cake contains fully one
quarter of its weight Of mineral matter.
Tie editor of scientific magazine
not long since analysed j certain brand
which had some degree Of popularity
for the toilet and had received the n
dorsement of several celebrated per-
sons. He found in it a large admix-
ture of fine sand. His process is a long
one, but any housekeeper who chooses
can test the quality of soap in this
simple manner: Shave an ounce of
soap and put in small bottle; nearly
fill with alcohol and place IN not
water till the contents are dissolved,
taking care to have no possibility OF
ignition. Set it away to cool and
thicken; if no sediment appears the
soap is good.
It is better way to buy only the
faYorite brand of Well-known manu-
facturer. A noted chemist says: The
label and trademark of known,
reliable and responsible manufacturer,
is the best protection the public can
have against frauds, limitations and
counterfeits. When the manufacturer
uses some fictitious name on Il fancy
brand. no matter how attractive the
soap may be, beware of it. It's in
gradients, disguised under fancy shapes
and delicate perfumery may be re-
puls:ye or noxious.

BIOOdhOundS.

Every time dogs are put on the trail
of a criminal the telegraph is sure to
say they are bloodhoundS. Now,
there are not many bloodhounds in
this country, and we venture to say
that of the few there never was one of
the breed used in trailing men. The
dogs which before and during the war
were used to track runaway slaves
were always spoken of as bloodhounds,
but they were nothing like the ami
mails of that breed. They were cross
between the Siberian dog and the long
low hound so much used by Southern
ers in hunting. The strain of Sibe-
rian bloodegave the result of this cross
ing the large head and short ears, as
well as size, and the strain from tho
hound gave the animals the sharp
scent which enabled them to follow a
trail after its making. These dogs
were ferocious, while the true blood
hound is anything but that. The dogs
seen running in the streets here which
are called bleodhounds come from the
stock used for the purpose described
IN the South, but are not so we'll bred.
They are more of 4 cur as general
thing. A thoroughbred bloodhound is
one of the handsomest dogs that lives.
He is a large, heayy-boned animal,
with long ears and broad, pleasant
face, with brown eyes, which, on ac-
count of the red always showing, are
considered by people who Go rot know
better an indication OF savageness.
The bloodhound is q dog much mis-
represented. he has bad reputation
which he never earned himself. but
was given him by persons who knew
not what they We're talking a.5oat,-

There are hundreds of men in this
county, who, if selected to attend n po-
Blical conYen ,ion with the possible chance
6f their own proferment, would jump at
ihe chance of going and pay their own
way. No one will have the temerity to
deny this, yet it is impossible to get one
OF this same hundred or any other man"
to attend a convention held for the pur-
pose of bringing prosperity to the people
Of our county as whole. They are
self-sacrifcing Of little silver where
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is the result, but where
there is a chance to help fellow mortal
they hold aloof 1t can not be the Pc
nuriousness Of these persons that causes
this lack of pride and energy! For
oharitys sake, let us say it is carelessness.
But whatever it maybe we hope there
are some men in the county who have
pride enough to see Wolfe county repre-
sented at the Industrial and Commercial
Conference which commences in Louis
vile next Tuesday. We made an appeal
to the citizens OF the county last week,
but so far have not heard of a man who
intends going to Louisville. Let us
awake from our slovenly slothfulness
and do something for our county's sake.
ANY man who will attend the convention
will have the benefit of half-ratcs, and
the man or mon who will go will have
the blessings not alone Of the people now
living but Of all who are to come after
Hs. Who will go?
